Official Show Notes[]
- With the glamour and horror of our 200th/MaxFun Drive episode behind us, we return to meat-and-potatoes flophousery with the little seen sci-fi actioner Vice, starring Flop House repeat offenders Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis. Meanwhile, Elliott explains the risks of marrying Shannon Tweed, Dan takes a fantasy trip to the set of the sitcom Wings, and Stuart makes a shocking leap ahead in Radio Zork.
Movie Summary[]
Premise[]
VICE, where customers can play out their wildest fantasies with artificial inhabitants who look like humans.
Story[]
Julian Michaels has created Vice, the ultimate resort. His clients pay great sums of money to indulge in uninhibited hedonism and their most violent fantasies. The victims, however, are androids that are barely distinguishable from humans. When one of the androids becomes self-aware, she breaks out from the resort and makes her escape. She finds herself caught in the crosshairs of Michaels' mercenaries and is helped by Roy, a cop who is determined to take down Vice once and for all.
